People will exhibit tendencies of the Ideals and examples they follow. The Major part of Muslim community have appreciated, followed & held in high esteem people like Yazid, Muaviya, Abu Sufyaan, Hakam, Marvan, Khalid Bin Walid, Walid bin Ugba, Amr e As, Mutawakil, Mottashim, Yusuf Bin Hajjaj - who in reality were power hungry Monster, who would go to any extremes to keep clinging to their seats of power. They used islam as means to acheive their means & in course they have changed the real meaning & tenets of Islam. They have always incited people to go against relegion by inducing them with money & promise of power, the result was that Muslims were at loggerheads with each other within 30 years of demise of the Holy Prophet. It was behest of such people that even th Duaghter and Brother of Holy Prophet had to face severe hardship. Muslim now need to follow examples of Icon like Imam Ali: -Imam Ali never desecrated the bodies of his opponents whom he killed during the duel on battle ground. -Imam Ali treated his slaves with utmost dignity and respect. -Imam Ali even ensured allowed access of River Euphrates to the Army of his Arch Rival Muaviya in the Battle of Siffin, though Muawiya had denied water when he controlled it. -Imam Ali treated Ibn Muljim (his killer) with kindness and offered him Sherbet after his supporer brought Ibn Muljim who had struck Imam Ali on head with posion cladded sword. Muslims need to reorient their Ideals tobecome choicest of communities

Why to blame only hindus for all the posts, it may be anybody, whether rediff asks for a religion certificate before posting the massege.
Its just a few who people who claim themselves to be liberators or messenger of GOD whetere Hindu, Muslim, Christians or any other religion. Its just fight for power nothing else which will continue in some form or the other. In the modern world we should learn to live with it. Today it is Osama fighting for one cause tomorrow it will could Amaso fighting for some other cause. The cause could be even low as color of your underwear. But they see that they can seize power by highlighting that then they will do that also. Its Human nature to seek powere. Some use crooked ways of doing it. Be it US, Russia, Japan or China as a country or Saddam, Osama, Mogabe etc as a person.
